Servings: persons

1/2 cup light soy sauce (for gf, be sure to check the bottle to be sure it's certified gf!)
1/2 cup unsweetened pineapple juice
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 tablespoons ginger (grated)
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
cayenne pepper to taste
2 tablespoons sesame seeds, plus a little more for garnish
3 tablespoons ketchup (yes, I did go there lmao)
a few drops of sesame oil
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 pounds (1 kilo) chicken breast, diced fairly small
1 tablespoon sunflower oil

1
Whisk all marinade ingredients in a bowl, and toss in chicken.
2
Stir to coat all chicken and marinate for 15 minutes.
3
Heat oil in a very hot wok (or large saute pan).
4
Carefully add in chicken, and stir and flip constantly to avoid sticking.
5
Cook chicken about 15 minutes, until sauce begins to thicken.
6
Serve over a bed of white rice, garnished with sesame seeds. (I would have garnished with green onion as well, but the veggie vendor didn't have them that day, so we had to go without.)
